Ir Port - NEC VERSA NOTE Manual

IR Port

The IR port on the left side of your system lets your NEC Versa Note
communicate with other devices that also use infrared technology. The
IR port is Infrared Data Association (IrDA) compatible. You can easily
transfer files between your NEC Versa Note and an IR-equipped
desktop, or print to an IR-equipped printer without using cables.
There are three transfer rates for the IR port on your NEC Versa Note.
The transfer rates are FIR (Fast Infrared - 4.0 Mbit/sec), MIR (Medium
Infrared - 1.152 Mbit/sec), and SIR (Serial Infrared Standard - 2.4
Kbit/sec). Windows 98 and Windows 95 transfers at up to 4 Mbits/sec.
Windows NT does not support IR.
Your NEC Versa Note transfers data at the speed compatible with the
receiving device. If the receiving device is also FIR equipped, your NEC
Versa Note recognizes this capability and transfers data at the FIR rate.
Your NEC Versa Note ships with the IR port
disabled. The first time that you use the IR port you
must enable the device through the setup utility.
Once the IR port is enabled in setup, use the
Windows 95/98/NT device manager to enable and
disable devices.
For information about enabling and disabling
devices on your NEC Versa Note, see "Enabling and
Disabling Devices," later in this chapter.
Follow these steps to enable the IR port using the Setup utility.
Enter the setup utility as indicated in Chapter 3, "Using Setup and
1.
Power Management."
